“So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
One way to practice being aware of the Presence through love, is to give your attention fully to other people from time to time. So many people have not truly been listened to. Try the following experiment. Ask a friend to tell you about something that you know is important to them. Ask them to leave out no details. Invite them to start at the very beginning and to take as much time as they like to share everything. And then settle in to listen to what is being revealed to you beyond the words.
